In the stormy rain...

In The Stormy Rain
By: Natasha D. Rufin

Cold
Wet
Hungry
As I stand here
In the stormy rain
Watching you move on
Hating that it was because of my fear
That I missed out on you
On the shelter that your love would have provided
On the beauty and truth of your kiss
Never thought I would end up like this...

I miss you
I want you back
But I have come to realize that
Maybe just maybe
My heart was meant to be like this
Left without protection and sustenance
In the stormy rain...

untouched and whole

Untouched And Whole
By: Natasha D. Rufin

You must not be serious
You think you could say what you did
And I be the same way with you?
You showed me what you really wanted
A quick liason that would have cost my heart a lifetime
But would have given you your release
Given you a piece of me I could never regain
But guess what?
I was smarter than that
I saw through your lines in time
And you left me just as I was when you came
Untouched and whole!

Fingerprints

Fingerprints
By: Natasha D. Rufin

Fingerprints all over the shell
Of the man who knew it well
The only one to taste it
The only one to break it
Lines as fragile as the ones he used to capture it
Still surround it
She was the treasure he thought he wanted
A delicacy
A beauty
Something unique
Until he made it commonplace
Now she finally knows and understands
That you never cast your pearls to swines
No matter how fine
No matter how much they wine
Leave the pearls for the ones who are willing to pay the price
Leave the pearls for the king
He's the only one who will
Be willing and able to pay everything.

You Don't

You Don't

You don't understand me
You don't appreciate who I am
Or what is important to me
Or who I love.
You don't know how to make me happy
You don't appreciate what makes me free
You don't understand the way I feel
I guess for us it was just not meant to be.

Craving...

Craving

Craving to be loved
Craving to be touched
Craving to be held
She allowed you in.
She was stupid.
She bent to your way
She turned to you
Hoping you would be true
Only to be rejected
To be left standing in the cold
As she watched you leave
As she watched you run to another
As she let you have the power to hurt her.

Whenever
By: Natasha D. Rufin
To: my Cadbury angel...

Whenever I say your name a smile lights up my face
Whenever I remember the way you look
When I said something that surprised you
My heart hurts
Because I wish i was there wherever you are.

I hate how we're apart
I hate not being there near enough to hear the beating of your heart
I see us dancing under star filled evening skies
Hugging each other as we watch the sunrise
I hope that I love you the way that you need
Because whenever I look in my heart I see you and me
A picture I pray lasts eternally.

Se Ou Selman

Se Ou Selman

Gade mwen nan tout ke mwen ti chouchou dous mwen
Se ou selman ki gen ke mwen
Se ou selman ki fe tout ko mwen kontan
Kontan tankou on fle sou primye jou prentan
Kontan tankou on papiyon ki ap vole ale a
Se ou selman ki fe mwen konnen mwen libere.

Se ou selman mwen vle rete avec pou tout tan
Paske le mwen reveye minuit avec rev mal
Se ou selman mwen rele
Le ou gade mwen ou we plis pase lot moun
Ou we tout ke mwen
Ou gade mwen le fini ou we tout namn mwen
Se ou selman ki we tout kote mwen toujou kache devan lot yo
Se ou selman mwen vle fe konfyans
Paske se ou selman ki gen tout sa mwen bezwen!

Translation

Look straight into my heart my sweetheart
You alone have my heart
You alone make my entire body feel joy
Happy like a flower on the first day of spring
Happy like a butterfly who is flying above
You alone make me know that I am free.

It is with you alone I want to be with forever
Because when I awake at night with nightmares
It is you alone that I call
When you look at me you see more than many people
You see my entire being
You look at me and you see my soul
It is you alone who sees all of the places I try to hide from everyone else
It is you alone that I want to confide in
Because it is you alone that has everything I need.

Melt...

An older poem I recently came across that can't seem to leave me alone. I love it! Hope you guys love it also

Be blessed!

Melt
By: Natasha D. Rufin
29th October, 200...

I felt the ice inside me thawing,
I've been am ice princess for years
Yet finally someone has come along,
That brings me joy and tears!

You're reaching places no one has ever been,
Places I've kept hidden so far beneath my ice,
So far beneath my cold,
Yet just one look into your eyes
And my heart was yours to have and to hold!

Your smile shone bright ways
That always make me smile and laugh
So much that inside I began to feel the ice melt,
Until I experienced emotions I never felt.

When you're hurt it seems to make me sad,
It makes me want to forget being cold
Yet as I try to it seems that the unmelted ice
Still has me on hold.

So I'm melting into someone new to see
I may hate change yet you're changing me,
As my icy feelings melt and begin to heat,
I'm becoming sopmeone totally complete.
